Council also moved to elimin
ate a bothersome problem from
a growing and rather thickly
populated area in the northern
section of the city by transfer
ring the city dumping ground to
a site further out off Highway

proximately 106 acres bordering

Camp fire Girb Celebrate Birthday
The Clinton Council of Camp molded a program uniquely suit-
Fire Girls, Inc., an agency of the
Community Chest, is cele
brating “birthday week.” This
week marks the 53rd anniversary
of the national organization.
“Wo-He-Lo”, the story of camp
Fire Girls tells us some facts
about Camp Fire. The name.
Camp Fire Girls, was suggested
by a poet. Fire symbolizes the
home, the place of comfort and
cheer. Camp symbolizes the out-
of-doors spirit of the organiza
tion. And so, in 1910 with the
selection of the name Camp Fire
Girls, America’s .first national
organization for girls of every
nationality, race, creed and econ
omic status came into being, r
It was through the'inspiration,
imagination and efforts of Dr.
and Mrs. Luther Halsey Gulick,'
authorities in child health, rec
reation and education that the
Camp Fire Girls wiu '" bora.
ed to the needs of young girls.
From the first Camp Fire
Girls have received approval of
many. Religious leaders approve
it for it’s reverence for the spiri
tual side of life; civic leaders,
for it’s ideals of service; artists,
for it’s appreciation of beauty;
medical and health workers, for
it’s formation of good health ha
bits. Parents approve its good
common sense in giving. The
children love it because it is al
ways fun.
In February, 1950, under the
sponsorship of the Lydia Wo
man’s Club, four groups of
Camp Fire girls met in the Ly
dia community of, Clinton, mak
ing the first record of organized
Camp Fire activity in Clinton.
ThtTsmall group that first met
in the Lydia, cqmxnunity has
grown to 500 members and par
ticipates in an entouive pro-
Working with a group of other Bram to further it* tiftectivac
dedicated men and women prom- strengthen and enrich
Inent in the fields of sort*! woifc, I role of the girl in htr corn-
psychology, and edueitttm, thef t munity. , • .
Some of the special events
planned for this “birthday week”
celebration include: visits to a
local radio station with some
groups appearing on the air; at-
tenfiffig school iSPuni&rm din

The entire Camp Fire family,
